ATTACHMENT FOR FILLING BARRELS.

Application filed November 16, 1921. SerialrNo. 515,451.

To .all whom 'it may n y Auron MA'rUsonAn Be it known that we, and ALBERT LANesoi-r, citizens of Austria and Hungary, respectively, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,

for Filling Barrels,

of which the following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to filling devices,

liquid passing .into ka barrel at any predetermined level, thus making the device park ticularly useful `to industries where fractional miXingof solutions are required;

Another object is to, provide ready means of checkingor completely stopping the flow of liquid before the automatic-closing mechanism acts, this means being used to prevent .accidental overflow in the event that the automatic closing meansnot functioning or closing the valve at any time during the filling. n

These and other objects will become apparent in the description below in whic characters yof reference refer tothe likenamed parts in the drawings. y

Referring briefly to the drawings :e Figure 1 is a transversely sectioned side elevation of the complete device, and show-y ing` the valve in the closed position.

Figure 3 is a topplan view of the device.. Figure 4 is a rear end elevational view of the saine showing they valve opening push button.

Figure 5 is an exterior side view of the device. A

Figure 6 .is tional view showing` the valve vin open pos1 tion.' i Figure 7 is a horizontal `sectional view, through the mainl body, taken onvl the line` 7-7 of Figure 6. f

Figure 8 is a fragmentary sectionaLview illustrating the `means for retaining the valve inopen position."

Referring to the drawings more in detail, in which the numeral 10 represents a relatively long tubular member having elon- 1() has an external have invented certain new and useful improvements in Attachmentsy to providea device which will automatically stop the flow 0f lever 34 will be rotated avdouble chamber yby .the conical roof 12. The chamber 13, beneath roofi 12, houses a metal float 14.y The upper end of member thread below which is formed a shoulder flange 15, upon which the main body 20 rests. The threaded surface 1G ofmcmber 10 receives a nut depth when filling awseries of barrels. Legs 19 extending from member 17 grip the body fof the barrel when the device is secured 1n place. f

The main body 2Ok is secured to the upper ,threaded portionof member l() andy has two intercommunicating chambers y2l andy 22 'which are sealed. from hole 28 of the hexagonal head 29. The tension of spring 27` normally keeps the valve 23 on its seat.

Screws 36 form bearings for a pivotally mounted shaft 36y which has levers 34 and h 37 y secured thereto, bothy extending outwardly therefrom in opposite directions to each other. Lift rod 38 is hingedly connected to lever 37, at one end, while the op-y posite end engages a countersunk hole on the undersidek of ,valve 23. A plunger 31, ksur-y mounted by a push button 32, is also hingedly y connected to the` other lever 34.7by

, screws 35, thelatter being retained in slot 33 of lever 34. By referring to Figures 1 y 17 anda jam- .nut 18, the latter adapted to permanently` position nut 17 for insuring uniformityof v A hollow stud'26,formed f `on the` upper surface ofy the valve 23 and having a spring 27 therein, slidably engages and 6, it will become apparent that, asthe push button32 and plunger 3l are depressed, downwardly, while the yopposite lever` 37 describes an upward Seat f f f c In this position'the fluidcan pass through strainer 4.1, thence into chambers 21 and 22 after which yit passes downwardly through I`the. tubular member barrel throughfholes `11.

A pawl 39, formed to theend of the lever 34, retains the latter in the lower position by engaging the ,underside` of 1 a hinged hook member 40.

A. horizontal plate 45, having a y lmovement,.thus liftingvalve 23 from its a fragmentary transverse sec-M C 10 and flows into the f slot 44 at" its outer end, is secured to the hinged hook 40. A nut 46, slidably secured in `slot 44.I has one end of a threaded rod 42 secured therein, the latter extending downaff/5 wardly through guard t'ube 4T, and is securedat its lower end. to the float 14. It is obvious that, as the fluid level in the barrel contacts vvith the float 14, the latter Will rotate member 45 upwardly, thereby releasing hook 45 from the paivl and permitting the spring 27 to close valve 23, thus stopping the flow into t-he barrel. i

A lqn'urled hand disc 48, secured to a stud 49 and projecting into chamber 22, is provided as a means for closing the valve manually in the event of it failingv to function properly. A triangular proj eetion 50 on the end of stud 49, engages the underside of plate member 45. lVhen the device is properly operating, the fiat of projection 50 is normally parallel to the plate allowing ample clearance between the tvvo, for actuating the valve by the float. By rotating the disc 48, one of the corners will rotate the plate 45 upwardly, closing the valve through the various members as herein described. A spring actuated plunger 5l engages detents in the disc providing a means for stopping the stud 50 in the open position.

The hinged hook 40can be respect to the paivl 31 so that various degrees of sensitiveness of action can be att-ained. This is accomplished by having the hinge yoke 5l slidably mount-ed Within the nipple 52, the latter being threadably secured to the body member 20. By detaching the threaded cap 53 from the nipple 52 and rotating set screws 54 which has ahead swivelly mounted in yoke 5l, the said hinge hook can be adjusted in either direction, thus preventing -a greater or lesser surface to the pavvl 89 consequently requiringa greater or lesser time `interval for the release of said pavvl 39 to close the valve 23. The valve stem has a set screw 52 threadably mounted `therein, and is provided` for adjusting the valve 23.
